Bene, finalmente potremo mandare in pensione DIME...
Basterà aspettare WSE3 e/o Indigo...
As of today, we finally have a W3C recommendation for how to efficiently
encode binary data in an XML Infoset (XOP), and a SOAP binding for that
encoding that's based on Multipart MIME framing (MTOM). Congrats Gudge and the
rest of the XOP/MTOM crew! Our product team is really excited about this spec,
and it should turn up in our products pretty soon - Indigo beta1 and the WSE3
beta will both have support for MTOM.

Un po' di tempo fa parlando di Virus che non vanno su VPC mi ero chiesto come facessero... Bene, ecco la risposta:
At various times it is convenient to be able to identify the host computer from inside of a virtual machine in a programatic fashion (e.g. When you are deploying a virtual machine or running an automated process). To help in these scenarios both Virtual Server and Virtual PC 2004 SP1 will populate the virtual machines registry with information on the name of the host computer, and the name assigned to the virtual machine under Virtual PC or Virtual Server.

Molto bene!!! Complimenti!!!
On behalf of the Mvp.Xml Project's team I'm glad to announce release v1.0 of the Mvp.Xml library.
Mvp.Xml project is developed by Microsoft MVPs in XML technologies and XML Web Services worldwide. It is aimed at supplementing .NET framework functionality available through the System.Xml namespace and related namespaces such as System.Web.Services.
This release includes Common, XInclude.NET and XPointer.NET modules.
The Common module includes a set of commonly useful classes in Mvp.Xml.Common and Mvp.Xml.Common.XPath namespaces, which extend the .NET functionality available through the System.Xml...

Se non volete usare SysPrep potete sempre usare NewSid di Winternals...
You might want to create a “base” virtual machine with the operating system and applications you want, and then copy its .vhd file to use for other virtual machines. Before you make copies of the .vhd, however, it’s important to run Sysprep in the guest operating system. This way, the first time you start a virtual machine that uses a copy of the base virtual machine’s .vhd file, the guest operating system will be assigned a new SID and other identifiers, so you won’t end up with network conflicts between...

Molto interessante... in attesa della versione RTW di
Enterprise Library abbiamo qualcosa da leggere.
While the blogs have been abuzz with EntLib RTW, the Patterns and Practices Digest accompanying the February 2005 issue of MSDN has a lot more details. You can get that in PDF format here. (via Forest Blog).

Chissà se un'iniziativa del genere funzionerebbe anche in
Italia...
Within the next 48 hours, you will find auctions
on eBay. You can buy an hour of consulting time of the wonderful individuals listed
below for a minimum bid of US$100. All money will go to IDEP (see below) to aid the
Tsunami victims in the Aceh area. I think this is a sensational effort and I am honored
that I was asked to participate. Julie Lerman and Stephen Forte have been pulling
this off. Once the auctions...

Questo mi evita di farlo a mano ogni volta
Cleanup 1.5 for Visual Studio.Net 2003 Solutions is a handy little utility I wrote for developers to clean
up their solution directories and files. It can remove all links in project
and solution files to source code control (Visual SourceSafe, SourceGear Vault
etc.), clear the Visual Studio Web Cache, delete bin and obj directories,
delete Debug and Release directories and delete *.user files. I use it on my
projects all the time, I thought you might like it too! ...

Uno dei motivi per usare VB.NET per parlare con
Office:
It's not that it's difficult to convert code from Visual Basic .NET to
C#, or to simply create code that automates Word or Excel in C#. What caused
me pain in this particular project was that when you attempt to communicate
with objects designed to be consumed by VBA clients, you're living in a world
that didn't take C# and its design goals into account when it was being
created. One thing is for sure: because of its VBA...

A me non è mai capitato, ma nel caso... Riporto direttamente il post originale:
There have been a number of people reporting that when they start a virtual machine - they get the following error:
The network adapter with address "00:00:00:00:00:00" of virtual machine "...." failed to initialize because the address is a null address.
To fix this problem you should use REGEDIT to:
Examine the key value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\\DriverDesc to locate the desired host adapter where is a four digit number.
Look at the GUID value for the NetCfgInstanceId key value.

Un articolo molto interessante, anche se alcune cose sono un po datate...

Uno snippet che reputo interessante è il seguente:
6. Sun's complacency about bugs. I've hit against numerous important bugs in the Java libraries. After I isolate a bug I usually check the bug database at java.sun.com to see if there are any workarounds. More often than not, I can see that the bug has been reported a couple of years ago, and that Sun has ignored it. To add to the insult, asshole engineers at Sun sometimes close the bug as unreproducible with a comment like...

Molto ma molto interessante... e vedendo la fonte fa
sperare in un ottimo prodotto!!!
I'm writing this blog entry to share an exciting bit of news from
SourceGear: We have decided to announce the fact that we are
developing a new product which will be released later this year. The code-name
for this new product is "Allerton". In a nutshell, Allerton is a
Linux/Solaris/MacOS client for Team Foundation.
How much will Allerton cost?
Pricing for this product has not yet been announced. Don't ask me about it.
I'm not saying anything until we make an official announcement.
When will this product ship?

Microsoft have asked us to remove the story and screenshots. Although we disagree with this decision we value our close ties with Microsoft more.
If you have come to this news story to find more about Magneto then we apologise. Look forward to Windows Mobile Code-name Magneto RTM later in the year.

Si... lo so che è comoda... ma siete sicuri valga
veramente la pena di utilizzare l'autenticazione Standard di SQL Server?
Since I'm one for saying "standard logins aren't such a bad thing," I do have to point one downside. When you get hostile bits on the server, it can easier to get at Login information, as the latest SQL Server Attack attempts to do.

"Testing requires you to assume that you'll find errors in your code. If you assume you won't, you probably won't, but only because you'll have set up a self-fulfilling prophecy."
e ancora
"You must hope to find errors in your code. Such a hope might seem like an unnatural act, but you should hope that it's you who finds the errors and not someone else."
Molto ma molto vero...
